Bearings are preloaded so it may take a few miles to break in until it rolls easily.

Jack it up and leave it in neutral, if you can't turn it by hand one of the axleshaft's may be binding inside the differntial. Not a big deal since you will only need to take off some matrerial, abot 3/16" or so, off the end of the axleshaft. But please do double check this again by taking off the driveshaft before disassembling your 9".
